 AB    We report the case of a patient suffering from acquired immunodeficiency
       syndrome and hepatitis B and D virus-related cirrhosis of the liver who
       was diagnosed as subclinical Crohn's disease. We attribute this clinical
       course to abnormality of intestinal immune system induced by the human
       immunodeficiency virus. Concomitant hepatitis B and D virus infection
       may have contributed. This observation supports the hypothesis of
       helper-inducer T cells (CD4 T cells) having a critical role in the
       immunopathogenesis of Crohn's disease and its clinical expression.
